Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The sail out was very relaxing, fortunately we were blessed with the weather!
    We had plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful, clear waters around the island and were provided with snorkels, paddle boards and a fantastic meal cooked by the crew!

    Would highly recommend this trip, great value and a great day out! ☀️

    The tour guide was amazing and very informative. Everything was on time.

    We visited the towns of Oia and Fira but we did not expect it to be this crowded for late October. When we were returning to the bus, one of us needed to go to the washroom, but we only had .80 of a euro in change (80 cents). These were public bathrooms. The man standing at the door told my friend he cannot use the bathroom if he does not have 1 euro, he was only .20 cents short of 1 euro. When he said he only had the .80 euro, he told him to walk up the hill, use the machine, and bring back 1 euro if he wanted to use the washroom. If it's a public bathroom, why is this allowed to happen? I realize this does not mean that all the people of Santorini are like that, in fact, the majority are very friendly and polite. This man however was extremely rude.

    The island was as picturesque and beautiful as we see in the pictures. I don't think I would go again though, as it was far too crowed, but I'm very glad we went to see Santorini.

    This boat trip was our best day on crete :) There were beautyful places to see and the food was tasty and light, so we could go swim afterwards. The tourguides were courteous, nice and friendly and gave us all the time a good feeling. We also had some dolfins swimming for a while in front of the boat...
    The tourguide Elena named them Stone and Alex :-D
    Thank for this day!

    2 1/2 hour ferry ride was very relaxing and worth the trip. Blue domed whitewashed builds are a beautiful sight, up close and personal. The sea view is overwhelming. Rugged rocky landscape to walk, wear very comfortable shoes. This place is known for being overcrowded but during my visit.

    Loved it. There's enough shade on the boat. The sea and Naxos coast was beguiling. The island of Koufonissia was lovely -- crystal clear sea. And Rina Cave was well worth it. And the BBQ was delicious. (Let them know in advance if you're veggie. I didn't but luckily as I was the only veggie on the boat they could give me a lovely lunch but had there been a few of us, maybe not). Highly recommended.

    We had an awesome time on this trip! The captain and crew were great and very accommodating. Our captain caught a Tuna on the way out, so we had fresh fish for lunch!

    We booked a private boat trip from chania with Seaze the Day. It is my husbands 60th birthday and our 3 adult daughters joined us here in crete to celebrate. It was a magical day, we visited Balos - Gramvousa - Falasarna -Elafonisi -Kedrodasos. Food was amazing, too much and the boat just right.

    For me a 60 something very overweight bloke this was challenging and maybe a bit too challenging but I did it and it's super impressive. It is hard work and the difficulty can detract from the experience if you not young or fit.

    Logistics was easy, pick up point was communicated on time. Bus was clean with working AC. Bus takes you to the Kissamos Port and they hand out the ferry tickets on the way there. The only thing that wasn't mentioned in advance is the 1 euro tax fee per person that must be paid in cash. Make sure you have cash. There is an ATM on the way to the port in case you need to get cash.
    Food on the ferry looks sad and a bit overpriced. I'd recommend visiting a bakery before getting on the bus in the morning.
    The trip to Balos and Gramvousa is incredible.

    We were a couple of minutes late getting back to our boat for departure from the island and it left without us. Exceptional thanks to a wonderful guide Marissa, who sorted everything out for us and made sure we didn't miss out on any of the day's activities. 4 stars for the trip and 5+ stars to Marissa. Thank you so much.

    Crete is an amazing place with modern tourism and historical sites. The people are extremely helpful and friendly. We stayed at the city green hotel where we were more than catered for we were made to feel.as friends. The only downside were the journeys. Outward bound the assistance person made a cockup resulting in my wife's rollator being charged for as baggage. Then homeward bound there was an absolute disaster. There was only one assistance person available although two aircraft landed with several people needing help. As a result we were delayed passing immigration and customs so missing our bus connection
    As a result we had to spend 3hours I in Heathrow's appalling waiting room then travel on an overnight bus to Torquay where we arrived at 0500 on a cold wet morning . E
    asyJet Gatwick and Heathrow need to pay more attention to the needs of disabled passengers

    The organization, food and staff were excellent. The view was amazing. Perhaps a little more interaction with the staff would have been appreciated, I think that might come with age as most were fairly young and distracted by the cute girls who seemed to be part of the crew.
